Hello,

I am planning to add an All-Columns-Grid filtering option. The grid contains multi-type columns, like string, numeric, and date data types.

I could add a TextBox inside the Toolbar, however, to implement the filtering, I might add several filters one for each column in the Grid, casting the value entered to each column's data type. Would that be a viable solution?

On the other hand, is there an out of the box solution for the above?

 

Best regards

Bilal

Hi Bilal,

Kendo Grid does not support multi-type columns. DataSource's schema allows the developer to assign single value type for each of the DataSource fields, one Grid column can be bound to only one DataSource field.

In case you have column that displays different fields I am afraid that I cannot offer a solution.

In case you want to filter on multiple columns (each column displays single data field) you may use TextBox and filter method of the DataSource.

Through the filter method you can filter on multiple fields at once. For example: http://jsfiddle.net/valchev/MG89G/
